 Canipophaga saturata (Stvinh.), Sharpe, Cat. B. M. iv, p. 66; Oates, 



B. B. i, p. 230. 

 Carnpophaga innoininata, Oates, B. B. i, p. 233 (1883). 



Coloration. Resembles C. melanoschista, but has the plumage pale 

 grey throughout, except the vent and under tail-coverts, which 

 are white or albescent. 



The young, in all stages of plumage, have the grey portions of 

 the same pale tint as the adults. 



Bill and legs black ; iris hazel- or reddish-brown ; eyelids plum- 

 beous ; inside of the mouth flesh-colour ; claws horn-colour. 



Of much the same size as C. melanoschista. 



Some years ago I regarded C. melanoptera, C. saturata, and C. 

 innominata as fairly distinguishable species, but now with the large 

 series of these birds which is available for study I cannot separate 

 them. 



Distribution. The whole of Arrakan, Pegu, Karennee, and Tenas- 

 serim, extending into China and Siarn. I have seen no specimen 

 of this species from any locality south of Malawun. 



507. Campophaga neglecta. The Small Cuckoo-Shrike. 



Volvocivora neglecta, Hume, S. F. v, p. 203 (1877) j id. Cat. no. 268 

 quat. ; Hume 4- Dav. S. F. vi, p. 210 ; Salvador i, Ann. Mus. Civ. 

 Gen. (2) v, p. 580. 



Canipophaga ueglecta (Hume), Sharpe, Cat. B. M. iv, p. 68 ; Oates, 

 B. B. i, p. 232. 



Campophaga polioptera, Sharpe, Cat. B. M. iv, p. 69, pi. ii (1879). 



Coloration. Resembles C. mdanopUra but is very much smaller. 



The colour of the iris &c. does not appear to have been recorded. 



Length about 8; tail 3'5 ; wing 4; tarsus -75 ; bill from gape -8. 



Distribution. Teuasserirn south of Mergui, extending down the 

 Malay peninsula as far as Salanga or Junk Ceylon and eastward 

 into Cochin China. 



An allied species found in the Malay peninsula is C. culminata, 

 A. Hay, which differs in having the vent and under tail-coverts 

 grey like the abdomen. 



C. fonbriata, Ternrn., from Java differs from both the above in 

 being of a blackish colour. 



508. Campophaga sykesi. The Black-headed Cuckoo-Shrike. 



Lalage sykesii, Strickland, A.M. N. H. (1) xiii, p. 36 (1844) ; Horsf. 

 8f M. Cat. i, p. 175 ; Sharpe, Cat. B. M. iv, p. 89 ; Legye, Birds 

 Ceyl. p. 369.
